Description
A spacious, light-filled family home
This beautiful stone house was built in 1952 by architect Didier Miaux. Completely renovated by architects in 2005, its interior and exterior spaces combine modernity and comfortable living.
This 300 m² house is built over three levels. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a study, a first bedroom, a dressing room, a kitchen opening onto a dining room opening onto a terrace and a bright rotunda lounge with fireplace. The first floor comprises three large bedrooms, a bathroom, a storage room and a beautiful master suite opening onto a 10 m² terrace. The property is completed by a basement with natural lighting, including a 50 m² study with separate entrance, a kitchen, a large garage and a cellar.
This house is set in pleasant, peaceful surroundings. Opening onto a 494 m² garden, it benefits from pleasant, well-exposed terraces.Spacious, light-filled rooms and quality finishes make this a very pleasant house to live in.
Located in La Rochelle, the house is in a pretty residential area, 10 minutes’ walk from the city centre and 15 minutes from the old port.
La Rochelle, the capital of Charente-Maritime, is one of France’s most attractive and dynamic cities. Looking to the future, it combines the preservation of an exceptional natural and architectural heritage with innovative development, while respecting the area’s strong identity. In addition, the presence of a large number of architectural practices in the region helps to ensure a rich and diverse local output.
In terms of the architecture of the 1950s and 1960s, there are a number of interesting projects in the region, including the series of houses built by architect Didier Miaux. His work bears witness to the enduring influence of the modern movement in post-war construction, as in the case of his television-style house built at 278 avenue Carnot in Saint-Maurice in 1957.
This town house with garden, built in 1952, is characterised by the use of stone and the presence of a rotunda structuring the whole. Completely renovated by architects in 2005, it has undergone a genuine contemporary architectural rewrite, bringing greater fluidity to the spaces and volumes while respecting the basic structure initiated by Didier Miaux. The overall harmony that emerges from this project bears witness to a successful transformation.
